Trouble Score by Luanda Casella & Pablo Casella/ NTGent TROUBLE SCORE turns to magic realism to capture the fantastic, mysterious, and hallucinatory nature of family dynamics—the ‘strangely familiar’—to transform negative events into pop songs, coping mechanisms into hyperbolic analogies, unhealthy patterns into healing mantras. taken in NTGent by @luandacasella

An old family scandal and fragmented crime stories: in “Trouble Score”, 𝗟𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 and 𝗣𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 weave humour, magical realism and music into a moving, provocative journey through trauma, memory and connection.

The siblings, originally from Brazil and now living in Belgium, set out to uncover the truth behind a long-buried family scandal. From fragmentary crime stories, an incredible plot gradually unfolds which childhood innocence clashes with the distorted reality of trauma – against the backdrop of racial segregation and military dictatorship.

✨ The show turns to magic realism to transform negative events into pop songs, coping mechanisms into hyperbolic analogies, and destructive patterns into encouraging mantras.

With “Trouble Score”, long-standing artistic partners 𝗟𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 and 𝗣𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 return to the beginnings of their collaboration: in this distinctive blend of storytelling, concert and performance, multi-layered texts, sound samples and pre-recorded and live music come together to form a complex composition. A polyphonic evening exploring trauma, memory and the possibility of connection.

🔎 Theatre maker Luanda Casella, based at 𝗡𝗧𝗚𝗲𝗻𝘁, is now playing at HAU for the fourth time, following “Ferox Tempus – Terror at its best” (2022), “Killjoy Quiz” (2023) and “Short of Lying” (2024).

In the lecture “From Fiction to Reality, back to Fiction, back to Reality and hopefully on to Fiction again” I talk about the end of the art of storytelling, the narrative turn, the rise of story-selling, and the need for fiction to be brought back to our lives.

It was a great pleasure to be one of the keynote speakers and share fragments of my PhD research on Unreliable Narrators at the Kenneth Burke conference last week at Ghent University, “Rhetoric in a precarious world, moving forward with and from Kenneth Burke”

Thank you so much for this wonderful invitation @ruttenkris & @amanda_adam1999 and to all the other participants who shared such wonderful ideas on the rhetoric of precariousness and on the rhetoric that might protect us from the precarious. Also an immense privilege to be introduced to this community of fellow nerds and to drastically escape the soul-crushing tyranny of small talk for a glorious, sustained period of time! by @luandacasella

"I'd like to think that we are born in a state of wholeness, and that our environment sets us in a process of alienation. The Shadow Self bears the violence and keeps us functioning. The Physical Body involuntarily maintains our bodily functions." Trouble Score Lua & Pablo Casella a #concerto #drama about #trauma and #healing. With deep appreciation for all of you who made this production possible . It's been a learning experience from day one and until the final day of this spring tour in Amsterdam. We look forward to playing this Fall @hauberlin @ntgent #storytelling taken in Amsterdam, Netherlands by @luandacasella
